"Will Approach High Court For Fresh Mayoral Polls": Raghav Chadha

The AAP leader alleged that the presiding officer used his pen on certain ballot papers and declared them invalid during counting.

AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Tuesday questioned the Chandigarh mayoral poll process and said they will approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking fresh elections.

The BJP swept the Chandigarh mayoral polls, winning all three posts, including that of mayor, as it defeated the Congress-AAP alliance.

Mr Chadha said the poll process was not only "unconstitutional and illegal" but also an act of "deshdroh" (treason) as he accused the BJP of "orchestrating" it after sensing its defeat in the election.
